For every suicide, the impacts are felt deeply, and grief can ripple throughout the community, affecting family, friends, colleagues, close networks, sporting clubs, first responders and clinicians.
The “Have you lost someone to suicide?” booklet lists a selection of organisations, websites, and materials that can help people who have lost someone to suicide. The booklet has been produced by Suicide Postvention Response Trial (SPRT) project, which is being coordinated by Ballarat Community Health on behalf of the Ballarat Suicide Prevention Place Based Trial and Western Victoria Primary Health Network. In this trial, survivors of suicide loss, health and community services, first responders, local government and other community supports in Ballarat are working collaboratively to design and pilot a coordinated, supportive response to all people in community who are impacted by suicide.
